Obi Worldphone launches SF1, SJ1.5 smartphones in Vietnam and Dubai

NEW DELHI: Obi Worldphone Thursday launched its SF1 and SJ1.5 smartphones in Vietnam and Dubai. It said that both the devices are priced at an exceptional value and meant for discerning young population in these markets.

The company is now planning to launch these devices in India this month.

“We have access to best distribution and retail partnerships in our target markets, which facilitate our aggressive expansion plans. We plan to launch Obi Worldphone in India within this month,” Neeraj Chauhan, Co-founder and CEO of Obi Worldphone, said.

Separately, RCom initiated contempt proceedings in the apex court against the Department of Telecommunications, blaming it for delaying a spectrum sale that would have enabled dues to be paid to Ericsson and lenders.
